Job 17:7-9

The Message

^6-8 “God, you’ve made me the talk of the town—
    people spit in my face;
I can hardly see from crying so much;
    I’m nothing but skin and bones.
Decent people can’t believe what they’re seeing;
    the good-hearted wake up and insist I’ve given up on God.

⁹ “But principled people hold tight, keep a firm grip on life,
    sure that their clean, pure hands will get stronger and stronger!
